There's a pain I cannot kill   And I guess I never will   Bluebird of love has knocked me down   Sang her songs then left town      Oh the lady sang so sweet   Had the kids up on her feet   Playing the town hall she took her bow   Left me this letter I'm reading now      Chorus      I was over the moon but my   Poor heart came back soon   There was only a rainbow left to see   Left to see      Oh she said it gets so tough   Airline schedules can be rough   Wanted to stay here and live with me   One more show and she was free      So I waited here at home   Played some stills and got myself stoned   And as I lay in that empty bed   Bluebird of love flew above my head      Chorus      Stay with me stay with me   Lay your head upon my shoulder      Chorus
